New Addition for Wilton Hall
AT LAST...
Thanks to the generous funding of the Ontario Trillium Foundation, the United Way and the Wilton Women's Institute members and community members, after much work and effort from Bill Reinhart, Jim Hare, John Slykhuis and Gerald Hinch, the addition now has insulation, hot water, drywall, fire exit lights and flooring. The kitchen appliances we dreamed have arrived and the kitchen is now in use!
